SEARCH QUESTIONS / 10

Questions players actually ask.

Direct answers, with the evidence level stated rather than implied.

01How do you switch characters in ANANTA?+

Through the in-game phone interface: open the phone, select another life, and the city camera transitions before you resume that character’s current routine. It is presented as changing who you are in the city, not as swapping a loadout.

02Do characters keep progressing while you are not playing them?+

Developers describe each character as continuing their own routine off-screen, so you resume where their life moved next rather than where you paused. Whether that produces mechanical progression or only narrative continuity has not been specified.

03Should I pick characters for combat or for city activities?+

For city activities, at least before launch. Combat values are unpublished and will change, but the urban verbs a character unlocks are documented now — and those are what decide which missions you can even approach.
